Team Bomber HQ lightweight clamp hub

1:12 specialists Team Bomber from Japan has released this new HQ lightweight clamp hub for its AK12 series chassis.  Designed to lighten the drive system and improve the rotation accuracy directly linked to driving performance, they are made from high-strength, high-quality 7075 aluminium material.  The design uses waste-free materials and is approximately 30% lighter (about 3g → 2g) compared to standard products.  Additionally, they use a counterweight shape that optimises rotational balance, making for a smooth high precision rotation.  This makes the cars’s movement a whole lot sharper and reduces traction loss during cornering.  This provides a solid advantage, especially for stock class users looking to harness limited power.  Also, the bis in the clamp section, which contributes to the lighter weight, was changed from the traditional M2.5 to the M2 bis.  For concerns about torque shortage due to small diameter, adopting a high-strength specialised steel plated small head cap bisque ensures reliable tightening torque, and you don’t have to worry about loosening.

Fenix Racing G56.2-200 200mm Pro10

Italian manufacturer Fenix Racing have released a 200mm version of their G56.2 Pro10 kit which it is calling the G56.2-200.  The 200mm class is a niche of Pro10 class and more suited for indoor or small twisty circuits.  Working side to side with Roman Krejčí, they started to develop the G56.2-200 in 2024 spending the whole year testing as the 200 is not a simply “scaled down” version of the G56.2.  There are quite a few difference between the models however they do share the same heritage and backbone, such as the V-link suspension.  While developing the G56.2-200, Roman found the time to win the Moravskoslezsky Cup and the Moravian Le Mans Series with it.  The “200” is sharing most of the mechanical parts with the G56.2, but is sporting a proprietary chassis, which can be configured to use shorty or touring lipo battery, allowing the use in mini endurance races.  While working on the project, Fenix Racing choose to upgrade the 200mm sphere differential to Mk3 specs, making the G56.2-200 a brilliant choice for the Pro10-200 or WGT class.
